Hi all -
I had a series of health problems (culminating in lung carcinoid) that led to me hitting the obese category for the first time in my life (Hashi's didn't help).
For the past 4 months I have been on a very low carb (less than 60g a day), high protein (100-130g a day), and low PUFA diet (less than 4g a day) with moderate fat overall. However, the calories were so low (800 a day, it was medically supervised), that it kind of doesn't matter I was low PUFA - I was low everything.
I lost 45 lbs in the past 4 months. I feel okay actually, but I know I tanked my metabolism. We are now in the reintroducing phase of the program, so I'm up to 1100 cals a day and going up by 100 cals a week.
Has anyone reintroduced Peaty eating after extreme anti-Peaty eating? Any tips or tricks? My health markers actually look decent, other than my FSH being obscenely high and I stopped menstruating regularly. I'm back on Progest-E, 3 weeks per month.
Looking for tips and tricks as I don't want to be low carb/ low sugar forever, since I know it isn't good. I was thinking of starting with a spoonful of coconut oil and some salted orange juice to sip throughout the day. My cortisol actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
Any ideas for me?
